Billy Moon would have given his life for rock 'n' roll stardom, but the Devil doesn't come that cheap.

Goth rock idol Billy Moon has it all: money, fame, and a different girl in every city.

But he also has a secret, one that goes all the way back to the night he almost took his own life. The night Trevor Rail, a shadowy record producer with a flair for the dark and esoteric, agreed to make him a star. . . for a price.

Now Billy has come to Echo Lake Studios to create the record that will make him a legend. A dark masterpiece like only Trevor Rail can fashion. But the woods of

Echo Lake have a dark past, a past that might explain the mysterious happenings in the haunted church that serves as Rail's main studio. As the pressure mounts on Billy to fulfill Rail's vision, it becomes clear that not everyone will survive the project.

It's time the Devil of Echo Lake had his due, and someone will have to pay.

      In this supernatural thriller set in the late 1990s, debut novelist Wynne re-imagines the Faustian myth in which a musician sells his soul to the Devil in return for mass adulation. Washed-up rocker Billy Moon, seeking to connect beyond his core audience of goth chicks, travels to a remote studio to make what his record label and manager hope will be the album that restores Moon's once-iconic stature. Doing so, however, means reuniting with imperious record producer Trevor Rail, with whom he shares a dark and damning secret. Even before Moon's arrival, inexplicable events begin to occur in and around the haunted church that anchors the studio's facilities, threatening the entire project and everybody involved. Wynne, a former rocker himself, no doubt tossed in anecdotes from his own industry experiences, and he gives disillusioned but likeable young recording engineer Jake one of the book's best lines: "You may find that records are kind of like hot dogs. You enjoy them a lot more before you know how they're made." Confining most scenes to the residential studio and its surrounding woods, Wynne combines the cinematic imagery of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll with a good old-fashioned ghost story that thrills more often than it chills.
